A financial appeal has been sent out on behalf of 135 members of Unifor Local 4266, who were locked out on May 14th.
After only bargaining for three days, the local’s bargaining committee was given a final offer. With the company demanding huge cuts in benefits and replacement of their defined benefit pension plkan with a defined contribution plan. These workers are fighting hard to maintain these benefits.
After being locked out, the company closed the Ottawa branch and moved the work to Gatineau, Quebec. The company laid off all the members of Local 4266 and is refusing to return to the table.
“These workers deserve every local union’s full support. We would ask the locals to provide as much financial support as possible,” Unifor National President Jerry Dias said in a letter to all Unifor locals.
